Chapter 547
Ice and Fire
Joe pointed at the huge wedding photo and said,"Mommy, Miss Amy, the wedding photo of Uncle Wilson and Aunt Selina is really beautiful."
Amy smiled and said,"Yes, your Uncle Wilson is handsome and your Aunt Selina is beautiful." Wilson and Selina did make a perfect couple and even kid began to admire them."
Joe asked innocently,"Miss Amy, you and Uncle Derek are also so perfect with each other. When are you getting married?" Joe looked on, adorably, waiting for an answer from Amy.
Amy replied,"Maybe after several weeks." They had to wait till Selina and Wilson's wedding was through. Plus, truth be told, they hadn't really spoken about getting married. Derek hadn't brought it up.
Cherry looked at the expression on Amy's face and immediately knew what she was thinking of. She figured that Amy and Derek had never talked about this matter before.
Cherry gently said to Joe,"Joe, I think you have gotten yourself enough red packets for today. Now put a break to this and after a few days Uncle Derek will give you a red packet, okay?"
Joe replied, happily showing off his pockets that were full of money. He said,"Yes Mommie! Uncle Wilson and Aunt Selina also gave me some red packets. And even Grandpa and Grandma gave me a red packet. Look!" he proudly showed.
His happiness put a smile on Cherry's face too and she told him kindly,"Yes Joe. Your Grandma and Grandpa love you. Your Aunt Selina and Uncle Wilson also love you a lot and so in the future you should live up to their expectations."
To which, Joe replied firmly,"Yes, I will look after everyone. I will take care of you and Daddy and also look after Aunt Selina and Uncle Wilson as well as Miss Amy and Uncle Derek."
Amy heard this, laughed and said,"Then I have to thank you, Joe!". He was always such an adorable and sweet kid.
So Joe said, with the blatant honesty of a child,"Yes, after you marry Uncle Derek, I will call you Aunt Amy. It will make me feel closer to you."
Amy was speechless at what Joe had just said. She was completely moved by him.
At a little distance, at the bar, Jackson, Derek and Mond sat around the bar table swishing their wine glasses. They were sitting at a corner table and drinking red wine out of goblets.
Derek looked around at the crowd in the wedding and turned to Jackson to tell him,"Your brother-in-law's wedding is surely the talk of the town. Look at all the VVIP guests, there are political and military people also. There are so many celebrities and high profile people coming for this wedding!"
Jackson replied casually,"Yes. It is evident from today's wedding how influential and powerful both the companies H King and JS Group are." The wedding was a grand extravaganza, even grander than his own wedding. But the guests here were not as posh as those who had come for his own wedding. After all, they were not as well connected as the Chu family. However, he appreciated the fact that there were so many VVIPs swarming the wedding.
Derek nodded and continued,"Well today's wedding is super grand. Both H King and JS Groups are big families. This is like a merger, of course it will be huge. With the cream of the city showing up. Selina has taken over JS Group completely too."
Suddenly, Mond replied,"Don't you think this wedding presents a good business opportunity? It will be an excellent accelerator to both the H King Group and JS Group."
Derek and Jackson stared at each other for a bit, as of letting this new idea sink in. They had to admit that Mond had the best business ideas and was indeed a good business man.
Suddenly, Derek became serious. He realised something, and said,"Don't you guys think that if we walk and mingle with the crowds, we will be able to better the positions of the H King and JS Groups both. We could use this as a networking opportunity." In the romantic atmosphere of the wedding, they hadn't thought of this.
Jackson agreed to this also,"It might be great opportunity as you said." He too could not help but appreciate Mond's business sense.
Derek said,"Jackson, ever since you helped John move to Hong Kong, we have had no connections at all. Today, many important politics have come to this wedding here and I think we should seize this opportunity and meet them."
Jackson took a swig of red wine and put the glass on the table in front of him. He glanced at Cherry and Joe and felt relieved after he saw her smile.
Then he looked at Derek again and said,"Yes. Let's go and talk to them in a bit."
Derek said,"Okay." He looked at Mond and suggested they go together.
Mond turned this offer down respectfully. He did not have any work with the people he was seeing today because he had no intention of working from the same city. So these people were useless to him at all.
Derek looked at Jackson and wanted to see how he would react.
Jackson said,"Then please take care of Cherry and Joe for me. I'll go with Derek there." The only concern for him was Cherry. Since Mond was reluctant to go, he didn't want to force Mond to go there. So the only thing left to be done by him was to request Mond to take care of Cherry and his son.
Mond replied,"Okay. No problem."
